Will,
thanks for the information. My bookstore hasn't heard of Eberhard
Alsen's book "Salinger's Glass Stories", in fact the only Alsen they
have listed is a post modern criticism of romance. It's not listed in
"Books in Print" - any more details, such as publisher, date of
publication?
I really enjoy your post.
Thanks, Lesley
